The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
presentations of “Highlander” in the United States and Canada.
The Thorn EMI Screen Entertainment presentation and 20th Century Fox release —
directed by Russell Mulcahy (“Razorback,” “Highlander II: The Quickening”) and
starring Christopher Lambert, Roxanne Hart, Clancy Brown and Sean Connery —
opened March 7th, 1986.
The 70mm prints of “Highlander” featured Six-Track Dolby Stereo (“A”-encoded
Baby Boom format*) and full-frame imagery blown up from spherical 35mm.
*The film cans of one known print are believed to have been mislabeled as Format
43 i.e. Baby Boom format with a Split Surround option.
Opening/screening date … locale — cinema (duration in weeks) [notes]
PART 1: FILM FESTIVALS
No evidence could be found confirming any North American film festival
screenings of the 70mm print. (There was at least one 70mm print struck for this
purpose while a distributor was being sought. Some international 70mm screenings
have been confirmed.)
PART 2: FIRST RUN
No evidence could be found confirming any first run 70mm presentations of
“Highlander” in the United States or Canada. (The title is listed in Dolby Labs’
